At the mixed water outlet of the constant temperature faucet, it is equipped with a thermal-sensitive temperature element, Which controls valve core, blocks or opens the inlet of cold and hot water. When the temperature adjustment knob sets a certain temperature, the constant temperature faucet adjusts the proportion of hot and cold water entering the outlet to keep the outlet temperature constant.

the problem &solution of the bathroom thermostatic shower

Users who use a constant temperature shower will find that when used in a constant temperature shower, there are often sometimes hot and sometimes cold, and it will cause water leakage. There are many reasons for these phenomena.
